Didn’t seen this mentioned, and I haven’t seen this in a previous episode; but in the fansub version, what’s with the {ep 12} connotations after certain lines? Are these references pointing at the original episode 12? Granted I haven’t seen the original anime since it came out or anything else Kanon related for that matter, so I don’t remember, or is it something else? I don’t remember anything in 2006 ep 12 to be called out like that.

The Epilogue concerning Nayuki was vague in a sense that a date wasn't mentioned, she could be still in the space of the time where the promotion wasn't officially annonuced and record wise, she is still in 2nd Year.

And that brings me to Shiori's Epilogue too where she is seen wearing the Green Ribbon. The school only accepts new students in the new academic year, going by the theory that the females students wears the same Ribbon throughout their High School life, shouldn't Shiori be wearing the Blue Ribbon as the 3rd year students have graduated instead of the Green one ?

The thing is people should accept that nothing is perfect and that KyoAni had made a minor mistake in this case.

The ribbon flaws have completely destroyed my enjoyment of the series. I shall delete all the files and proceed on a crusade to have all blogs and forums stop discussing the series. My world is ruined...

That might just be for the year that the events in Kanon are supposed to be occuring. So the colours may take a shift down in the next year, with first years in blue, second years in green and third years in red. I think that we won't see any mistakes if we just take it that each year keeps the same colour ribbon for their whole 3 years in the school, because everything that we've been shown is consistent with that idea.

なっている is present progressive tense, therefore what the book wrote is about how the colour code is currently, and therefore it also doesn't conflict with how it will be (like whether they rotate the colours or they stay with the same colour).

I think people are only getting worked up about it because the ribbon code was specifically mentioned in the show. Had it not been mentioned and only shown, it's quite possible this wouldn't have happened to this extent.

I think its all a bit amusing... rather like a Trekker dispute over particle phase arrays. Looking over the image.... I translated a bit more than houkolic did but basically its in a "for the present time" tense which, to me at least, means the "color follows the class" theme is most likely given all the other clues.

The girls are deviants and flaunt the school rules. There you go. Settled.

Narf.

Haha, I will go with that. It fits into my initial belief too.

Anyway, to answer Meophist's question, nope, it's not a mistake. What I said in #144 was a joke, I already concluded in #67 that the school ran a color-rotation system based on a CG with Nayuki being in the third year (and clearly confirmed by the screenshot I posted above). As houkoholic stated above, what the book said only represented the "present". Ascaloth wrote a pretty nice description of the color-rotation system that he thought it would possibly be, which turned out to be right. You can check out the link below.
